Affiliation: Omega Protectorate / Omega Pyre
Modularity: No
Production: Mass-produced
Material: Durasteel alloy
Description: The Argevant has been in service within the Protectorate since near its inception. Its wide bay area allowed for large numbers of troops to be deployed quickly and its hyperdrive allowed for troops to be deployed without the necessity for a capital ship. However, a number of crashes caused the design to be revisited and reconsidered. Though it could carry a large number of troops, the survivability of those troops was abysmally low, especially when flying into hot zones. Thus, the Argevant was shuffled around with its sister ship, the M47. For future engagements, the M47 would deploy first while the M32 would move in later and deploy its larger passenger payload with relative safety.
